Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), a regional or local authority based in Peterborough, UK, has completed a procurement process for the purchase of 170 laptops. Classified under the industry category of "Computer equipment and supplies," this procurement was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, utilising a limited method based on a CCS framework purchasing platform catalogue. The contract, valued at GBP 115,966.92, was awarded on 23rd March 2026, with the supplier being DIGITAL DEVICES LIMITED, a large company located in London. The tender process involved a single bid, which was made electronically, and is documented under the legal basis of directive 32014L0024.
